That whole week isn't going to work for me, I have a circumcision thread and an abortion thread going on and I'm expecting a sudden death in the family. Can we either push it back a week or move it up a few days?

"The next mass shooting will take place on Feb. 12, 2014, in Spokane, Washington, by an emotionally disturbed, 38-year-old white man who will kill 7 people and wound 6 where he used to work using a semi-auto handgun he purchased legally in-state......" ~Liberal Media

to which it added after a few-second pause:

"Pleaseohpleaseohpleasewehopewehopewehope pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze don't let it be another person of color or mooslim and don't let it be a gun that was illegally obtained in a city with strict gun laws!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze! "

Since America can barely go a week without a mass shooting, workplace shooting, school shooting, mall shooting or other random mass violence from gun-toting retards, crazies and fanatics I think it's safe to say there will be a mass shooting much sooner than five months from now.

Let's further stigmatize the emotionally fragile loner white guys that already struggle to build a decent support group so they feel more isolated and less attached to the people around them. Brilliant.

The vast majority of guns used in mass killings were obtained legally - 81.8 percent. Advocates of gun control will note that this bolsters the case for tighter restrictions, particularly given the overlap between those with mental health issues and those able to buy guns. Opponents of gun control will note that nearly a fifth of shootings used illegally obtained guns, suggesting that new controls won't prevent such shootings.

You sound white, and 38. And to be honest a little emotionally disturbed.

jcooli09:AverageAmericanGuy: You'd only be able to predict something like that if you were the shooter or you had information about the government's conspiracy to fan the flames of anti-gun sentiment and fear.

do you doubt that there will be another mass shooting, or do you doubt that the government isn't behind them all?

The next child shooting will take place on September 20th, 2013, in Chicago, Illinois, by a drug-dealing teenaged black male in a neighborhood near his home using a semi-automatic handgun he purchased illegally.

Nearly two-thirds of the 67 incidents - 65.7 percent - were at the hands of a white person. Only one was committed by a female. It is indisputable: white men are most likely to commit such acts, though not exclusively.

This is a misunderstanding of the statistics. Men are most likely to commit such acts, white people aren't. 2/3 of the shootings were by white people, but 2/3 of the country is white. Saying that white people are most likely to commit mass shootings is like saying that white people are most likely to breathe and eat food. It's most likely that a mass shooter will turn out to be white, but white people are no more likely to commit mass shootings than those of other races. There are just more of them.

It depends on what you're calling a mass shooting. If you use the standard of "four or more people injured or killed by gunshots in one event," it'll happen about 25 hours after the last one. So we're already overdue, although quite possibly one has happened that hasn't been widely reported on.

Agreed, on the edge crazies are always emboldened to copy cat this sort of thing. I give it 60days.

What's with all this "gun free zone" crap everyone keeps spouting? This last one just had the guy shoot a security guard and took his gun. Why is there this belief that the shooters target "gun free zones"? I don't see the pattern to support that assertion.

Ironically, it's the confluence of those events that will spark your murderous rage. Enjoy!

Source. (247 mass shootings in 2013, 260 days elapsed through today)

If you mean the kind of mass shooting that CNN secretly fantasizes about, then yeah, February is probably about right.

Can the shooter wait a few more weeks? Because the Sochi Winter Olympics are going on during that time and that thing will most likely suck up the news cycle if it turns out to be the clusterfark it's setting itself up to be.

They're morons?

From what I heard, anyone in the Navy Yard could carry a gun so hopefully that retarded assumption is disproven and put to rest.
